The Corrupted Sentinel

Meeting the King

                                                                    ~~~~ Anjui's POV~~~~

Instead of being able to find his brother on the search for the young Ado the new king ran into some familiar faces instead. The first was that of the guards that had stopped him and his brother initially at the gates upon their visit to the homestead of the house Aelori, the difference now however was instead of the pair carrying the banner and colors of the house they had upon their person the silver and black colors of their new house the one that Anjui himself ruled. The second biggest change was the symbol upon their cloaks was also that of their new ruling house.

Not saying a word as the pair went off on their business; likely to guard the front door yet again for another watch they seemed to be talking to each other about minor things like the leaves of the trees within the forest changed which must have meant that the Starlight festival was soon to happen. That would mean more nobility within the house lands and that meant guards would be double or possible tripled and patrols inside the forestlands of the house would have to keep a much keener eye upon the passageways in and out of the forest to make sure no one marched an army to the front doors without them knowing.

The young Anjui had let the pair be as he continued on his hunt for the idle twin brother of his. He would have words with the man, but before he could he happened upon a curious creature within the house's bounds. It was either the unluckiest dwarf to be caught in the middle of an elvish heart, but he seemed to have a purpose about himself and he carried himself with dignity. Curious to the little creature's intentions Anjui had caught up to the creature in a few strides of his long legs and started to speak to him in common human 

"Hail travelling dwarf, how is it you came to these lands?"

the dwarf lost and confused as to who was speaking to him stopped and turned to see a young elf looking at him. Mumbling something under his breath the dwarf continued on his way without a word. He seemed to only travel a bit farther down the pathway before looking at Anjui who was still yet besides him. His voice was a rich earthly tone that gave off a more song like tone then most dwarves. 

"I am here to see the ruler of this house child, now if you point me in his directions and be on with your duties for the day I would be grateful."

awestruck by the dwarves lack of humbleness to his words Anjui only nodded to him. Leading the to be intruder into the hall Anjui had caught the eyes of several nobility of the house watching him, while both Lord and Lady Aelori sat in the High noble chairs anjui's eyes drew attention to the empty seats within the room and walked towards them at a slow pace that even a dwarf could keep up with. 

"eh, boy there is no ruler here. I thought I told you..." holding up his hand Anjui had silenced the creature as he strode with pride up the steps to the dieses upon which the thrones sat and took the seat of the king.

With that addressed Anjui took from his robe the crown that had been made from the two houses he had claimed. The silver band that made up House Aelori's own crown and the golden vines that made up the House of Masjhol's crown. 

"I will not have you insult me anymore dwarf, name yourself and why you have come." laughing the dwarf pointed at Anjui, but became stone serious when the young king snapped his fingers and guards drew up to the dwarf weapons drawn and ready to kill.

"I mean you no insult or slight young king, Just I mistook you for someone else. The King of dwarves I am. My name is Godric Ironside."
